Assorted Links for June 3, 2010

Hello there! If you are new here, you should subscribe to our RSS feed for updates on getting organized. You can also follow us on Twitter.

Interesting links we’ve discovered recently on the topics of simple living, organizing and uncluttering:

From professional organizer Monica Ricci, “Top Tools Under Ten Bucks“
ThinkSimpleNow’s “How to Enjoy Solitude“
If you’re on a Windows PC, I highly recommend “Lifehacker Pack 2010: Our List of Essential Free Windows Downloads“
When you find an attic full of old National Geographic magazines, make a shelf: “Shelf made from back issues of National Geographic“
An amazing apartment home with a wall of built-in fold out tables on Remodelista: “Architect Visit: Pulltab Design in New York“
Some spring cleaning humor from Buttersafe
Apartment Therapy introduced us to the amazing folding artwork of Derick Melander

RE: the Top Tools under Ten Bucks” I just found a $7 hook for your toilet that you can hang your child’s potty seat on. But the first item in this top ten list is the 3M removable hook. I think that would work just as well and I can probably get two for under $10 (one for each bathroom). Thanks!

The National Geographic hack could prove to be a bit buggy: urban wildlife (roaches, silverfish, ants) love to munch on starch. It might be possible–try it and see–to add some boric acid or borax to the mix to poison the interlopers.

The packing cubes are a great idea, but I find that very large freezer bags are cheaper, work well, and can be reused over and over. Much cheaper.
